Team Williams launched its new, 2009 Formula 1 challenger on Monday, the FW31 at the Portiamo circuit in Portugal.


The Toyota-powered car was in an all dark-blue interim livery, with the final configuration to be revealed in February.


Williams' test driver, Nico Hulkenberg, also posed for photographs in the pit lane in the morning as the new Williams FW31 was readied for its own maiden test.


Having already run a 2009 wing and diffuser package as well as their flywheel-based KERS system in winter testing, the team are ahead on their development for 2009, hence their car appears simple, but very well detailed.
